The Argument Clinic

@Tim

I can state with absolute certainty that no scientific paper of the Big Bang has stated that it is “evidence for the creation of the universe”.

In the case of Fine Tuning, all we have is arguments not evidence.

In the case of genetic code, what we have is assumption not evidence – in this case the (much repeated by ID-advocates, but repeatedly-debunked) assumption that information cannot arise through natural processes.

But scientific papers can point to God, if the conclusion of the paper is that the universe had a beginning. And arguments use evidence, you are confusing categories here. If the universe had a beginning, and the expansion rate of the universe was fine-tuned to 1 part in 10^20. And information can arise by natural processes, like evolution, but the arrival of the first genome is still prohibitively improbable.
